Abstract: The Art of Modern Warfare has seen a significant shift with the onset of the 21st Century as Military Operations have become more diverse and intense in nature. The rise of insurgency and terrorism with the onset of the “War on Terror” led by the USA and its allies had led to a need where soldiers are more specifically trained in Military Operations in Urban Terrain ( MOUT), Counter-Insurgency and Counter-Terrorism duties. This has prompted the enlistment of late headways done in the field of Computers and innovation like Augmented Reality (AR) into military applications to improve a soldier’s battle-space knowledge as real-world objects can then be augmented onto the real-world environment to create better training facilities for the soldiers and help the soldier to adapt up to complex conditions and increment communitarian circumstance mindfulness among warriors occupied with high-hazard tasks. AR can limit inadvertent blow-back, increment risk markings like the likelihood of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and increment war zone observation. AR in coming time would be viewed as a venturing stone to future military applications as an arranged correspondence framework would mean a minimal loss of life and maximum impact during Military Operations.
